GSC Group Offices (Lighting Design)

New York, NY, United States

This commercial office interior was the winner of a Lumen Citation and an IES Illumination Award of Merit. The lighting for this financial firm sought to humanize its high-tech workplace with the look of an upscale boutique hotel. The biggest challenge was to evenly rear-illuminate an art piece which wraps around the core of the two-story office, while still keeping below the maximum energy allowance. By carefully controlling the brightness relationships of the key architectural and art elements, we achieved a comfortable balance that is appropriate for office tasks yet honors the design goals of the client.
